WhatsApp is working on enhancing its privacy options, and one of the features currently in development is an email-based user verification system. The email verification system is now being rolled out to more beta testers on Android. According to WABetaInfo, the feature can be found within the Settings > Account menu for some beta testers who are on version 2.23.24.10. It is expected that more beta testers will receive the feature in the following days.
The email verification process is fairly simple, requiring users to enter their email address. It is important to note that email addresses are not visible to other users and are solely used to assist in accessing the account. Verification of the provided email address is necessary to utilize this feature.
This email verification option serves as an additional security measure for WhatsApp accounts, particularly useful in cases such as phone loss. However, it is worth mentioning that phone numbers will continue to be the primary method for account verification. The email option provides an extra layer of security. While the exact global availability of this feature is unknown, it is anticipated to be released in the next few months.
